Bone Regrowth Guide for Lower Jaw Implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two types of membranes used to grow bone in the lower jaw before placing dental implants. Participation lasts about one year and involves a bone-regrowth procedure to prepare for implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have missing back teeth on your lower jaw that need extra bone before you can get dental implants.
- You must have enough healthy bone height to place the implant.
- You should not have any health problems that could interfere with bone healing.
- You must be able to commit to at least 1 year of follow-up after the procedure.
- You should not be a heavy smoker (2 or more packs per day) or have poor oral hygiene.

This trial tests two ways to rebuild the jawbone so there's enough space for a tooth implant. One method uses a mix of man-made bone and donated bone, the other uses man-made bone and your own bone chips. It might help you if you need more bone for an implant in your upper jaw.
This trial is testing a custom-made titanium mesh (built with a 3D printer) to help regrow bone in your jaw where teeth are missing. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe bone loss and need a strong foundation for dental implants.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant and bone graft to see which heals better. It may be an option if you need a single implant and have a small bone defect around the front of the implant.
This trial tests whether a new bone grafting material (A-Oss) combined with a special membrane works as well as A-Oss with your own bone for rebuilding jawbone before placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more jawbone width to support a single implant in the upper or lower jaw.
This study tests a new way to grow bone around dental implants using your own bone chips and a special growth factor. It may help dental implants integrate better and last longer.
This trial tests a new plastic membrane to help grow back bone in the upper jaw where a tooth is missing. It may be a good option if you need a bone graft before getting a dental implant in the front of your mouth.
